Neutral Switch Inspection

NOTE: Perform the following test only when directed.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the neutral switch.




3. Inspect for continuity between the neutral switch terminals A and B using an ohmmeter.
- If not as specified, replace the neutral switch.
- If the neutral switch is okay, but PID value or PCM terminal 64 voltage are out of specification, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Remove the PCM.

Specification:

2. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) to the PCM as shown.
3. Tighten the connector attaching screw.

Tightening torque:
7.9 - 10.7 N.m {80 - 110 kgf.cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in.lbf}




4. Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses by probing the applicable sensor and SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) terminals with ohmmeter leads.
- If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
- If there is no open or short circuit, replace the neutral switch.

Open circuit
- Power circuit (Neutral switch connector terminal A and PCM connector terminal 64 through common connector)
- GND circuit (Neutral switch connector terminal B and GND through common connector)

Short circuit
- Power circuit (Neutral switch connector terminal A and PCM terminal 64 through common connector to GND)

5. Install the neutral switch.
